Oh God, oh God, OH GOD BRACE FOR THE NEXT PAGE!!! Mister's face on the last panel is worth of a prize. Also he says "hey, hey! This one is STILL alive", which makes me smile. Dunno if catching these stylistic undertones is difficult or not, but thumb up for you, Unyu.
@anelaid don't feel prosecuted or anything i feel just weird that you and Koban have such a serious issue with this anon's beard, it's not the worse beard ever or anything, hell it's not even teh anti hygienic type.
I think it's fair to say that we aren't supposed to really like the anon even if we enjoy the comic. Kiriraitaa doesn't go for sympathetic anons, the one in between studies comes to mind.
Considering that 90% of the cases anons are plot devices for the violence, well you aren't expected to feel anything, if they stop being anon and show truly unique character aspects, that's when anybody should care.
And as we know Kiriraita's work is simple:
No Room for Sympathy of any kind, just moeblobing yukkuris getting abused.
Nothing more, Nothing less.
Dunno why somehow this anon makes so many so fixated on him when he's damn average and pretty anonish, and i mean in general since in previous pages we had the same unnecessary obsession on him.
I think it's less of the beard and more that he has a "face"
It makes him less of an anon and more a human. Which then leads some people to feel less detached to the anon. Most anons only have hair and a mouth along with a gender, giving one a full detailed face is pretty rare. I think only noraaki is the only other abuse heavy artist that does full faces.
Well i had seen other anons with face, but none bring as much issues as this guy here, though maybe the issues happened more way back in time? because many of the faced anons i recall are darn old and long discussed (even before i showed up).
>> "...yuguu... >> no, all of us! >> Let's all take it easy!!"
> I think this phrase from last panel means Reimu is going to give birth more babies. > all of us means her, koreimu and newing born babies that's why Anon seems so glad.
Then we will get another 20+ pages for those new babies.
between studies add 2 new babies on page 21, and we get another 18 pages.
the same can be adopted by true happiness, maybe right next page. (page 25)
People would react the same way if somebody went to a FF picture with a person cuddling with yukkuris, and then said that he's going to turn into the incredible hulk. Cause and effect, cause and effect! Everything has an equal and opposite action. The same for trying to pick out details to attack the material for...
On the actual story, looks like this might go on for a while yet... oh yes...
>>Dunno why somehow this anon makes so many so fixated on him when he's damn average and pretty anonish, and i mean in general since in previous pages we had the same unnecessary obsession on him.
The angles, closeups, lighting, expressions and whatnot (the way his face looks help) give this particular anon a more "evil" portrayal so much that he comes off as an asshole with his actions. None of Kiri's other anon portrayals even come close to this one in that regard.
>> I think this phrase from last panel means Reimu is going to give birth more babies. all of us means her, koreimu and newing born babies that's why Anon seems so glad. Then we will get another 20+ pages for those new babies.
Hopefully not. This kind of story doesn't lend itself well to be that long while the same could not be said about Between Studies. Not to mention that if that were the case, there would be a chance that this story would get a weak-ass cop-out ending like BS.
yeah, new babies may not mean 20+ pages, for all we know the anon will get a new form of "happiness", in his wicked view, by aborting those unborn babies against Reimu's will.
I mean i doubt Kiriraita will drag this further so either it ends open with anon taking her home as his new abuse fodder maker or anon aborts her babies and leave her broken or kills her later.
It's not really an evil portrayal. It emphasises how he might be more extreme, but by abuse meanings, that isn't evil. He's more of an "asshole" to the yukkuri, but with abuse he comes across as being better with his actions, as the yukkuris suffer more. There really isn't much, and practically everyone who's been fixated on him and tried to attach deeper meaning to it have been anti-abuse and had problems with this story.
No comments on how anon(s) is/are assholes and evil for what they do. Saying the story would probably be crap if it went on doesn't really mean anything (it's equally likely that'll become better) and is just trying to find something to criticise.
in all seriousness i do think it would do better for True Happiness to finally end, i rather not have it drag further, since it's not like the "Yukkuri Family of the City" that was a sequence of various days and such, this is a single even,that may in real time take 1 hour or less and dragging it to much beyond 50 pages would become boring.
I want to see something new from kiriraita and for true happiness to properly end, we already had the semi half asses end of between studies, i wouldn't like True Happiness to fall in the same situation out of wanting to "add more and more".
Seeing as Reimu doesn't look pregnant (she's the same size as Marisa was), the baby/ies might actually be premature, and it wouldn't surprise me that she may even miscarry due to stress.
1 No one could feel real sympathy/antipathy towards a faceless guy or a human black shadow, it would be too cartoonish. Seeing a human like you, especially if detailed, encourages people to take their side or at least to 'relate' with the wonderful guy. I personally like this guy since his expression are various and emotional.
2 Weekly Kiriraitaa dose, 39 comments up to now, about 21 not related to the image. Good job as always.
Maybe for me the anon lose it's importance beyond "Violence Bringing Plot Device" after he did the meaningful "ideals of True Happiness clash" with the yukkuris, after that, he just was a faced anon in kiriraita style bringing violence and abuse, which is typical stuff and kinda lose a lot of importance to me unless he really keeps doing stuff that make him stand out beyond the "I abuse u"
Also Anon-Kun you should check your count since i think you are adding comments that while part of the side discussion, also are related to the pic in question or at least to a character of it.
Well , my money is going to be on the birth-theory as well. Would make perfect sense if we misunderstood Reimus' earlier statement about "let's all take it easy together" including Anon. Also I wager 400 quatros on this series ending on a cliffhanger with Reimu giving birth to more abusealbe babies.
